When butter is a lead character on your table, opt for the best quality sweet butter you can find. I like to zest things up a bit by serving butters with hints of raspberry, maple syrup or lemon-honey.

Making flavored butters is actually quite easy and so delicious on homemade breads, pancakes and muffins.

For berry flavored butters – cook 1/2 cup of the fruit and 2 tbsp sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and most of the liquid has evaporated. Cool then mix with 8 tbsp of softened butter.

One response to “Tip of the Day: Flavored Butters”

I love making flavored butters, especially for my steamed artichokes in the summer. It’s whatever spices I feel like throwing in, but usually I find garlic, oregano, and chili pepper are always included.
